A Writer’s Mind
If you were to look inside a writer’s mind, you might be confused, in awe, angry, depressed, surprised, happy, overjoyed, or scared, (yes, be very afraid because a writer’s mind can sometimes be a very scary place.) and there is no mind like a writer’s mind. Ideas pop in and out of our heads all …
Frustrated with Amazon
I love reviews. Good ones, bad ones, criticizing ones, and helpful ones. It’s been 3 months since I hit the ‘publish’ button for “Wisps of Words” And the reviews are slow to come in and I was wondering why. Then last week my cousin Debbie texted me and said that a screen popped up and …
Waiting

Let’s Start Again!

HELP!
Is it avoidance? Procrastination? I’ve been struggling to write. To move forward with my writing seems to be non-existent. Heck, I’ve been having trouble moving forward with all of my projects. Even this blog post has been hanging around in my head for a month or more now. I can accomplish everything from start to …
